Complications

For those of you with a scientific bent out there (perhaps it's in your genes?), spend a little time on this article from the New York Times last week.  Sometimes, based on pop science you see on TV and hear on the radio, you might get the impression that biologists have a pretty good understanding about the human genome and how genes work.  Well, not so... we are really just at the beginning and we're doing a lot of groping in the dark.
